Sony has been owned TCHBO!!

Sony posts strong quarterly results

"Instead of losing 10 billion yen (almost $86 million) for the year ending March 31, 2006, the company now looks to make 70 billion yen ($601 million) in net profits."

"The company's PlayStation 2 and PSP-inclusive Game division played its part in the turnaround, raking in profits more than 50 percent higher than it claimed for last year's third quarter. While PS2 sales suffered, the PSP's first holiday season in worldwide release was sufficiently strong to lift the division's profits from 44.6 billion yen ($383million) to 67.8 billion yen (almost $583 million). However, the company said those improvements were partially offset by aggressive research and development spending for the PlayStation 3."

"One interesting note to come out of the report is that PSP hardware shipments have overtaken PS2 shipments for the first time. The company shipped 6.22 million PSPs for the third quarter, but only 5.36 million PS2s."

"While the company's PlayStation 2 and PSP-inclusive Game division continued to do well, the biggest reasons for the company's revised annual expectations were found elsewhere. Sony credited the rosy outlook to unexpectedly strong performances from its Electronics and Financial Services divisions. Sales on the company's TVs and PCs were particularly strong"

TLHB:o . SCE and Sony corp. both made profits.

Btw if the PSP is dead why is it shipping more than PS2? That's right, because demand is higher.

Exactly, so what?

Yeah, their console lost $4 billion net since 2001. Microsoft has had hundreds in billions in revenues since that time, so their console division really isn't losing much money in the long run. The XBOX was never Microsoft's primary corporate product, and it will never be.

Sure, but I find this whole business of comparing coporate profits and revenues silly for the discussion criteria of SW.WolfensteinAR

Sony had 17.9billion in revenue and you are talking about Microsoft gaming division here right and not Microsoft corp. cuz Xbox did not bring in much or any profit, actually M$ lost $4 billion on the Xbox.rickynight

He's actually right, you directly mention me as "talking about Microsoft gaming division here right and not Microsoft corp.", when my 11 billion dollar revenue statistic was for Microsoft Corporation's overall revenue last quarter, not its gaming division.

So  Sony has a revenue of  20 Billion  this past quarter.

~Ten months after a major management reshuffle that saw Howard Stringer appointed chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), the company reported sales and operating revenue of ¥2.4 trillion ($20 billion as of the last day of the period being reported) ~

And gamespot has it wrong Sony made a net income of 1,4+ billion 

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/fr/05q3_sony.pdf

Not bad for a quarter where Sony expected to lose 90 million

ok just don't down right lie like that, they are doing good, but you don't have to lie.

shipped =/= sold & sold =/= user base number

Yeah, it's kind of hard to have a 100+ million fanbase when Sony has sold 85 million of its 100 million shipped PS2s, plus not ALL of those consoles will be originally bought, many will be replacements (or the new Slim).WolfensteinAR

 last time i checked 93  million units actually have been sold
